The programme of conductor Edward Gardner seems to fit him like a glove. It is as though he is walking back down the path of his life with his own London Philharmonic Orchestra. Wagner's voluptuous depiction of the Venusberg, which immediately sets the tone for Tannhäuser. Mozart's Clarinet Concerto with its energetic allegro and wonderful adagio, world famous thanks to The King's Speech and Out of Africa.
In 2018 Roeland Hendrikx made a highly acclaimed recording with the London Philharmonic Orchestra of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto. You can now experience the chemistry between them for yourself at DE SINGEL. The programme has another classic up its sleeve, Elgar's Enigma Variations: a series of entertaining musical portrait sketches with an unfathomable theme. With this choice, conductor Gardner gestures towards the fatherland whose musical allure he has been raising up to a higher plane for decades, to his period as Music Director of the English National Opera, and to his youth and to the first instrument he learned to play: the clarinet.
